Greetings Poets,
I missed you in January. I did get to see Dennis/Ben in real life a couple of weeks ago. All is well in North Little Rock. Almost all.
Mea Culpa, Microwave
I know you can do more.
Yet here I am
again
with my daily request:
Heat a cup of water.
You are willing,
but I must find a way
to communicate
with the limited vocabulary
of 1, 4, 7,
the only functional row
of your keypad.
1, 1, 7:
not hot enough.
4, 1, 1:
information has it
the result will be
volcanic.
I settle:
START times 3.
A paper towel
will be required.
I apologize.
For not replacing your bulb.
For not resetting your clock.
For never cooking
anything.
